RDE 2016 PARIS Programme 21 Radiodays Europe 2016 Conference Programme “Vive la radio! Creating the future” Monday 14 March 9.00-10.00 Track 1 Amphi Bleu Radiodays Europe 2016 – Official Opening: Creating the future Ouverture officielle : Créons le futur! Keynotes: Mathieu Gallet (President and CEO, Radio France), Dee Ford (Managing Director, Bauer Media, UK) Welcoming addresses: Graham Dixon (Head of radio, EBU, CH), Stefan Möller (President, AER, Finland), Marie-Christine Saragosse (President and CEO, France Médias Monde) Thematic notes: Kamila Ceran (Tok FM, Poland) and Jon Holmes (Presenter, Radio X, UK) In this official opening session we’ll welcome everyone to Radiodays Europe 2016 here in Paris and set the agenda for the coming 2 days. What are the big themes for radio this year? How is our industry changing? And what great ideas and innovation can we celebrate and share? We’ll hear from some of the major organisations representing the radio industry in Europe and from our hosts here in France, plus we’ll get a perspective from both public service broadcasters and private radio companies alike. Some of our speakers will preview their sessions, plus we’ll take a humorous look at the radio industry, getting you in the mood for a fantastic couple of days in Paris! Hosts: Paul Robinson (UK) and Alice Petrèn (Sweden) 10.15-11.00 Track 1 Amphi Bleu KIIS and say goodbye… The Big Move KIIS - Le grand changement Kyle and Jackie O, Duncan Campbell (KIIS 1065, Sydney, Australia) After 9 years hosting the market leading Breakfast Show on 2Day FM in Sydney, Kyle and Jackie walked across town to take over the Breakfast Show on the newly rebranded KIIS 106.5. Moving and rebranding a station always carry a high degree of risk but doing both at the same time was one of the biggest changes ever undertaken in Australian radio! This ballsy move paid off with KIIS moving to market leading position. What prompted this and why was it so successful? We’ll find out when Kyle Sandilands, Jackie O Henderson and Duncan Campbell (Group Programme Director at ARN) talk to John Simons about their Big Move. 10.15-11.00 Track 2 Podcasts: Movies in your head Podcasts : tu te fais ton film Kaitlin Prest (Host and creative director, the Heart, USA) What’s the secret to a podcast success? Is telling a story in a podcast the same as doing it on radio? What can “radio” learn from the growing independent podcasting world? Podcasts are becoming a place for experiments by innovative creative audio producers. One if these is Kaitlin Prest, host and creative director of an independent podcast called the ‘The Heart’. The Heart is audio art project and podcast about intimacy and humanity that introduces its listeners to new narratives about sex, love and relationships. ‘The Heart’ is a member of one of the most successful podcast networks, Radiotopia Network, USA. Kaitlin Prest recently won the Golden Award for New Radio Formats at Prix Italia for a fictionalized documentary called ‘Movies in your Head’. 10.15-11.00 Track 3 Strike a chord Trouver une résonnance Mark Barber (Planning director, Radiocentre, UK) Based on the UK study ‘strike a chord’, Mark Barber will show how brands can use music and enhance brand communication. Everybody acknowledges that music can be a powerful tool for advertising. Working at a subtle, almost subliminal level, music can trigger an emotional response. Used consistently, music works strategically, creating presence for the brand and acting as a bonding agent between different parts of the campaign. + The little green dragon can sell everything "Story-selling" : le petit dragon vert peut tout vendre Uroš Bogdanović (Creative director, KrAn studio, Serbia) Selling is an art. But sometimes people just don’t recognize an artist and his work. Radio advertising can be taken to the next level. Just add one little green dragon to your radio station. This is a story how to get revenue with usage of advanced mind techniques, and how to educate clients (both direct and media buying agencies) showing them the power of radio. Those techniques should be used in programmes as well. Where and how to put that little green dragon? Join me and my little green dragon and enter into new field of story-selling (storytelling and selling). Uroš Bogdanović was well known radio host in Serbia. 10.15-11.00 Track 4 7 things you think you know about radio 7 choses que vous pensez savoir sur la radio Mikkel B. Ottesen (Co-founder, RadioAnalyzer, DK), Bill De Lisle (COO, RadioAnalyzer, Germany) ! A good DJ break is never longer than 1:30! Listening patterns are habitual, and do not change on a day to day basis! (insert your radio paradigm of choice here)! If you want to put your “pet-programming-peeves” to the test, the 2016 RadioAnalyzer session is the place for you. Using real listener reactions from all over Europe, the RadioAnalyzer crew will prove what works and what doesn't in radio in today’s market. You may think traffic reports are important when bad weather is in the forecast and that a CHR station should chuck songs out as soon as they have peaked in the charts. Well, one of these statements is even more true than you think, while the other one is completely false. The way your audience listens to you is changing, the way you measure it, might not be. But it should. Don’t let other audio entertainment products take your market position. Beat them at their own game by observing your listeners. We will show you how. This session is sponsored and produced by RadioAnalyzer ---- 11.20-12.00 Track 1 Amphi Bleu Visions for radio´s future Des visions pour le futur de la radio Helen Boaden (Director of BBC Radio and BBC England, UK) and Cilla Benkö (DG, Swedish Radio, SE) With a rapidly changing media landscape and new ways of consuming information and music, how will radio best position itself and stay relevant for its audiences? Listening is high and radio is increasingly using alternative platforms to reach audiences and develop its offer to stay relevant. In this session two leading and outspoken figures in public radio will talk about where they see radio heading, how they will create their future for radio, each of them giving their vision for the future of radio. 11.20-12.00 Track 2 Mobile apps: hearing from the listener Les applications mobiles : à l'écoute des auditeurs Alexander Erk (IRT, Germany), James VanOsdol (Rivet Radio, USA), Yves Demay and Mounir Krichane, (Couleur 3/RTS, Switzerland), James Cridland (Radiofuturologist, Australia) Around the world, mobile apps are becoming more interactive and more personalised. See how radio is meeting the challenge of personalisation across the world with a global overview from radio futurologist James Cridland, and hear directly from companies who are listening more closely to their audiences. 11.20-12.00 Track 3 Emotional marketing: Audio´s impact on your brain Le marketing émotionnel : ou l'impact de l’audio sur votre cerveau Emma Rodero (Professor, Spain), Martin de Munnik (Neurensics, Netherlands) This session will explore the impact of audio on the brain and what can be learnt from the neuro and brain science field. How is audio perceived and processed, what is the difference compared to visual messages? What can we learn from how voices and music are used and what are the changes for the future to have more intense commercials and radio shows? Tell me how you speak and I will tell you what I feel - Emma Rodero (Radio Researcher and Professor, Pompeu University, Spain) will discuss speech strategies in radio commercials. She will talk about cognitive processing (attention and memory) and present the results of a US study about attention and memory to different prosody strategies applied to radio commercials. Martin de Munnik (Neuromarketing expert, NL) will explore the subconscious impact of music on buying behavior. 11.20-12.00 Track 4 Winning the first tune-in occasion of the day Soyez le premier choix des auditeurs quand ils allument la radio Daniel Anstandig (CEO, Futuri Media, USA) Research has shown that the media outlet that wins the “first tune-in occasion” of the day tends to lead the market in ratings. During this session, we’ll get a better understanding of how to win the first tune-in each day—and we’ll understand how TV, radio, and digital (in particular, mobile) are competing for consumers from the moment they awaken. In this session, you’ll see research from radio stations around the world that have driven ratings growth by focusing on this particular tune-in. This session is sponsored and produced by Futuri Media . --- 12.15-13.00 Track 1 Amphi Bleu Morning radio superstars – “in talent we trust” Les superstars des matinales : "In talent we trust!" Bruno Guillon (FUN Radio, France), Gry Forssell (Mix Megapol, Sweden), Elvis Duran (Z100, USA) and Kris Fade (Virgin Radio, Dubai) in conversation with Dennis Clark (IHeart, USA) What is the recipe for success for major shows in major markets such as Paris, Dubai and Stockholm? What do they do that others don’t, to make them successful? Is it just about Talent and hard work? What are the similarities in their approach or are there differences? Alongside this, Dennis Clark will also explore the way three morning shows work and, the way they win. Whether your show is local or national, this will be a compelling session that’s a must for those who want to learn how to win in the hardest fought time of day in any markets.

  • THE Hospital Where a Nurse Apparently Killed Herself After Falling Victim of an Aussie Radio Show's Prank Call Have Condemning the Stunt As “Truly Appalling"
    News The Sun 8 December 2012 Kate hospital condemns ‘truly appalling’ radio hoax after death of nurse THE hospital where a nurse apparently killed herself after falling victim of an Aussie radio show's prank call have condemning the stunt as “truly appalling". King Edward VII’s Hospital, which was treating Prince William's wife Kate for acute morning sickness, wrote to the chairman of Southern Cross Austereo to protest “in the strongest possible terms” against the “extremely foolish” hoax. Tragic Jacintha Saldanha, who was duped into thinking she was speaking to the Queen, was found dead yesterday two days after the crank call by 2Day FM DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian. Hospital chairman Lord Glenarthur said her death was "tragic beyond words", adding that the station had "humiliated" the unsuspecting nurse. He wrote: “I appreciate that you cannot undo the damage which has been done but I would urge you to take steps to ensure that such an incident could never be repeated." A spokesman for the private London hospital said the letter was sent earlier today. The letter comes after major advertisers began deserting 2Day FM amid public outrage and Australia's media regulator prepared to launch a probe into its conduct. Leading supermarket Coles - the country’s second largest chain - was the first to drop the Sydney- based station following Jacintha's death, which is leading news headlines in Australia. Coles was followed swiftly by Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company, which announced it was pulling all advertising from 2Day FM. CHAIRMAN of King Edward VII's Hospital said he wanted to "protest" against the "extremely foolish" gag And Optus, Telstra's main competitor, said it is reviewing its position.

  • LR003208 - Alfred Bradley (Interview 14) - No Date.Wav Duration: 0:39:10 Date: 31/07/2017 Typist: 715
    File: LR003208 - Alfred Bradley (interview 14) - no date.wav Duration: 0:39:10 Date: 31/07/2017 Typist: 715 START AUDIO Interviewer: A history of north regional broadcasting, interview number 14, Alfred Bradley. Radio's very first play was broadcast from Station 2LO London on the 15th November 1922. The day after Broadcasting England first began and it was heard in the children's programme but the north region can probably boast the first adult play written for wireless. L. du Garde Peach was the author. It came from the British Broadcasting Company's Metrovix studio and was broadcast by Station 2ZY. By the start of the 1930s far more Northerners were hearing plays than seeing them in the theatre. They were produced by the likes of Jan Bussell, Cecil McGiven and by Edward Wilkinson. The radio dramatic feature became the invention and hallmark of Geoffrey Brideson and Frances Dillon, Olive Shapley and Joan Littlewood all working from North region. By the 1940s James R Gregson had started a school for Radio Playwrights at the Leeds Studios. No history of North Regional Broadcasting would be anywhere near compete without BBC Regional Drama's most distinguished name, that of Alfred Bradley who's with me now. 0:01:19 Alfred you joined in 1959? Alfred Bradley: Yes, I came from a strange job. I was drama advisor in Leicestershire. I suppose I started off wanting to be an actor and I grew out of that very quickly. Found I was better at directing than acting. I couldn't be bothered to remember the lines.

  • Will Kyle and Jackie O Give Mix106.5 the KIIS of Life?
    Article No. 5379 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Thursday, 16 January 2014 Will Kyle and Jackie O give Mix106.5 the KIIS of life? Monday 20 January promises to be a massive day for Sydney breakfast radio. For those who’ve been living in a cave in Outer Mongolia (or outside Sydney, as the case may be!), that’s the date long-time 2Day FM breakfast DJs Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O start their new show at rival station Mix106.5 FM. It’s also the date Mix106.5 FM will be rebranded as KIIS FM. So will these major changes have the desired effect for Mix, boosting both their audience and advertising revenue? Roy Morgan investigates… The total Sydney radio market comprises almost 3.9 million people. According to data from Roy Morgan Research, market leader 2Day’s total audience comprises 15% of this (568,000 people), well ahead of Mix106.5’s 10% market share (393,000 people). With 506,000 listeners, or 13% market share, Nova 96.9 FM has Sydney’s second-largest commercial audience. Battle of the breakfasters Breakfast (5.30–9am) is traditionally one of commercial radio’s most competitive timeslots, and has been dominated in Sydney by Southern Cross Austereo-owned 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show for years. In the 12 months to September 2013, 349,000 Sydneysiders (or 9% of the city’s total radio market) listened to the show at least once in any given seven-day period. 2Day, Mix106.5 and Nova 96.9: total vs breakfast audience numbers 600 568 506 IMMEDIATE RELEASE 500 393 400 FOR 349 300 262 Audience ('000) 206 200 100 0 2Day FM Mix 106.5 Nova 96.9 Total Audience Breakfast Show Audience Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), October 2012-September 2013 (n = 10,135).

  • Appendix 1: Simon Stephens – Interview
    Appendix 1: Simon Stephens – Interview This interview took place as a public event for a predominantly student audience at the University of Kent on 6 March 2012. It was originally organized by Peter Boenisch and sponsored by the European Theatre Research Network (ETRN). Prior to the inter- view, I screened the trailers of the 2007 German production and the 2008 British production of Stephens’s play Pornography. RADOSAVLJEVIC´: In your lecture ‘Skydiving Blindfolded’, delivered at the Berlin fes- tival last year, you summarize your points on what you’ve learnt from working with a German director. What interested me was: (1) the observation that the English process of rehearsal tends to involve ‘standing the original conception as described by the writer on its feet’, whereas a German director would re-imagine the play, and (2) another more contextual observation that in the German-speaking world, ‘one of the highest manifestations of excellence is to be invited to a festival’ whereas in Britain it is ‘the possibility of a commercial transfer’. This forms a very insightful encapsulation of differences between those contexts. How did you come to playwriting in the first instance, and how did that experience of working in Germany change your process as a playwright? STEPHENS: The play Pornography was a play I wrote in 2005 about the bomb- ing of London on the London Underground system. The world premiere was directed by Sebastian Nübling – a German direc- tor, from the South of Germany. He’s directed five of my plays now and he’s a dear friend and an important colleague and col- laborator.
